It is testament to how many big putts Spieth has already made in his career that it rated as a surprise he didn't bury the eagle try. That was absolutely huge." His cut shot was flirting with a greenside bunker until, in his estimation, a puff of wind at the last moment blew the ball onto the right edge of the green, and from there it rode a ridge to within 15 feet of the hole. "That slope allowed me to hit 3-wood and get it in the air. "I couldn't have walked up there and placed the ball any better," Spieth said. The perfect lie was one of the lucky little breaks on which a career can hinge.
But the ball took a soft bounce on the burned-out fairways and stopped three paces short of the sand, on a gentle upslope that would help him launch his approach shot from 279 yards. Spieth smashed his drive on 18, and it looked for all the world to be headed into the bunker from which he made his double bogey.
